A coalition is a partnership of people and organizations who come together to tackle important community issues. Our coalitions focus on preventing substance misuse (like alcohol and other drugs) and on reducing the risk of suicide. By combining resources, expertise, and community voices, we work to create healthier, safer environments where individuals and families can thrive.
